Light LearningThe content
- All 500 bedtime stories are original, written for this app, and ours to give away.
- All 232 reading passages are original.
- Rhymes and songs are either original or genuinely public domain, meaning the words themselves are out of copyright rather than a modern arrangement of them. A test enforces this rather than a promise to remember it.
- Questions and lessons are written for this app. The arithmetic ones are recomputed from the question by a test rather than typed by hand, so a wrong answer is a failing build rather than a complaint.
What is deliberately not here
No traditional story belonging to a people is retold by us. Those stories belong to the nations they come from and are theirs to tell, not ours to adapt. Where the app teaches an Indigenous language, it was built with the community it belongs to.
No reworded version of anybody's song appears anywhere, including songs that "everybody knows". Knowing a song is not the same as being allowed to print it.
Curriculum names
The names of national curricula, examination boards and their strands are used to describe which programme of studies a topic follows. Light Learning is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by any ministry of education, examination board or school authority.
Software
The app is built with React Native and Expo and uses a number of open-source libraries, each under its own licence, principally MIT and Apache 2.0. The full list with licence texts is inside the app under Settings, and is generated from what is actually installed rather than maintained by hand.
Trademarks
